How to get the Pokemon Go Platinum Kanto Medal

How to catch all 151 Kanto Pokemon in Pokemon Go

Most Pokemon Go Kanto species can be caught in the wild, obtained through evolution, encountered through Field Research rewards, or traded with your Pokemon Go friends. However, some Kanto Pokemon are more challenging to obtain. These include Legendaries, Mythicals, region exclusives, or Pokemon with a high flee rate.

Here’s how you can get rare Kanto Pokemon in Pokemon Go:

• Mew: Can be encountered by completing the A Mythical Discovery Special Research quest that players can receive on reaching Level 15 in the game.
• Mewtwo: One of the most popular Legendaries in Raid Battles. Can also be occasionally obtained after defeating Team Go Rocket Boss Giovanni.
• Articuno: Occasionally found in 5-Star Raid Battles.
• Zapdos: Occasionally found in 5-Star Raid Battles.
• Moltres: Occasionally found in 5-Star Raid Battles.
• Ditto: It appears disguised as other Pokemon and is revealed as Ditto only after it is caught.
• Abra: An uncommon spawn in the wild that has a high chance to flee if not caught within the first attempt.
• Farfetch’d: Region exclusive Pokemon found in Eastern Asia but can spawn globally during some events.
• Kangaskhan: Region exclusive Pokemon found in Australia but can spawn globally during some events.
• Mr. Mime: Region exclusive Pokemon found in Europe but can spawn globally during some events.
• Tauros: Region exclusive Pokemon in found USA & Canada but can spawn globally during some events.

While catching all Kanto Pokemon appears difficult, it just takes patience and staying up to date when it comes to all happenings in Pokemon Go. We recommend becoming friends with seasoned Pokemon Go players to get the tricky regional Pokemon by trading. Moreover, evolving Pokemon is a great way to add their evolutions to your PokeDex without catching them directly.
